Key Dates For September 2027 Admissions
Thursday 3rd December 2026 (5-7pm) - The Elms Academy Sixth Form Open Evening
Come and find out what life is like at The Elms Academy Sixth Form. You will have the chance to hear from our Sixth Form team, meet subject teachers and current students, explore our courses and pathways, and learn more about the support, enrichment and progression opportunities available. It is a great opportunity to ask questions and start thinking about the right subjects and next steps for September 2027.
January 2027 - Sixth Form Conditional offers are issued
Students who have applied to the Sixth Form will recieve an update on their application and issued a conditional offer to study with us.
Thursday 10th March 2027 - Sixth Form External Applicants Evening 5 - 6pm
This is a chance to hear a short presentation from the Head of Sixth Form and to hear from current students in year 12 about their experience of joining the Sixth Form. This tries to cover the different things that students will be worrying about before moving to a new school directly from those who have already done it, because we know it can feel intimidating.
